@mellowmorgan92 - The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.

@CaptainP00face - there is weak and contradictory evidence for the association of eggs w/ prostate cancer, most based on epidemiological research, which only finds associations, not causes... also, given that PC is associated with estrogen, it could be that the issue are xenoestrogens in the eggs - so choose organic/pasture-raised

30 seconds isn't enough time to cook the white properly - and uncooked egg albumin is an allergen

@SkallagrimNeinnskegg - certainly you can do that - it just takes longer. The method I demonstrate does it very quickly, and also allows you to do many eggs with them getting browned.

@Sulik213 - you mean the white? yes!

The flavor compounds in browned fried egg are related to cancer-causing Maillard products, lipid peroxides and heterocyclic amines. Better to baste, and then spice them up. Fresh-crushed black pepper and sea salt are a simple fav, but its easy to turn these babies in huevos rancheros or any number of flavors. The point of the video is to provide a way to eat eggs that is healthy... the kind of eggs you could eat every day.

I melt the butter, crack the eggs, then when the whites are well cooked, I put in chicken broth, or any type of broth really. I just cover it till it looks good. The broth really adds flavor :D

I hope you washed that egg before putting it in your mouth. Salmonella is kinda, like, DEADLY.

My basting method involves actually basting the heated oil/fat over the top of the egg with a spatula so that you get a white yolk without having to flip the egg. No water needed. The key is to: 1. Cook over a medium heat so as not to brown the egg. and 2. Use enough oil to be able to push over the egg to cook the top white (no yellow showing). You get a perfect egg without any brown on the bottom or edges.

Oh I just saw what a browned fried egg is.

Do you have any source about it being less healthy?

@toddcaldecott

What on earth is a browned fried egg? :P

And apparently the risk of prostate cancer is greatly increased by eating more than 3 eggs a week. Everything gives you cancer lately..

I know the parents were not married, but there is no need to call it a basted!

I like to bast mine with olive oil instead of water, you just don't want to heat it too much.
